Chapter 256: CEO Jun, the Punching Bag

Xia Wanyuan felt that she had never spoken so carelessly.

Jun Shiling’s heart sank at Xia Wanyuan’s words.

It seemed that the previous few intimate actions had finally aroused Xia Wanyuan’s disgust, to the point that she was resisting him to this extent.

“Then don’t eat. Have some tea.” Jun Shiling suppressed the gloom in his heart and forced a smile as he poured Xia Wanyuan a cup of tea.

“That’s not what I meant.” Xia Wanyuan herself did not know why her tone had suddenly turned bad. She had always been good at controlling her emotions.

“I know. Have some tea.” Jun Shiling smiled and handed the teacup to Xia Wanyuan. He picked up the bowl and quietly ate the food on the table.

Jun Shiling, who was wrapped in a fierce aura, actually looked a little aggrieved.

The food that Xia Wanyuan prepared was for two people. Xia Wanyuan didn’t move her chopsticks much, and Jun Shiling slowly ate all the food that Xia Wanyuan had prepared.

“Aren’t you full?” Xia Wanyuan was a little surprised.

“It’ll be wasted if we can’t finish it.” Jun Shiling usually controlled his diet and did not eat much. Now that he had eaten two portions of food, he felt fine.

Furthermore, this was made by Xia Wanyuan. He did not know if he would be able to eat her cooking in the future. Jun Shiling sighed silently in his heart. He naturally did not want to waste it at all.

After dinner, Xia Wanyuan wanted to return to the manor.

Jun Shiling informed Lin Jing on his phone and postponed all the meetings in the afternoon. Then he looked at Xia Wanyuan. “I happen to have nothing on in the afternoon. Let’s go back together.”

“Okay.”

The car drove on the streets and suddenly passed by a cake shop. Thinking of Xia Wanyuan’s love for sweets, Jun Shiling got the chauffeur to get out of the car and buy one.

As she did not eat much for lunch, when Xia Wanyuan smelled the cake, her appetite was aroused.

She scooped a spoonful and placed it in her mouth. The taste was slightly bitter. It tasted a little like plums?

Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to look at the packaging on the box. As expected, it was green plum.

Upon seeing the words ‘green plum’ [1. The Chinese words for ‘green plum’ is the same as the first two words of ‘childhood sweetheart’ in Chinese.], Xia Wanyuan recalled the words’ childhood sweetheart ‘and ‘Brother Shiling’ that Zheng Fei had mentioned. She immediately lost her appetite and placed the remaining cake on the table.

“Are you unwell?” Jun Shiling asked Xia Wanyuan in concern.

“I feel pretty good.” For some reason, Xia Wanyuan felt an unknown complicated emotion surge in her heart when she saw Jun Shiling.

Sensing the impatience in Xia Wanyuan’s tone, Jun Shiling clenched his fists slightly and stopped disturbing her.

After returning to the manor, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the sofa and watched television. Jun Shiling did not go to the study to work, which was unusual. Instead, he sat by the French windows and looked out at the garden. No one knew what he was thinking.

Uncle Wang was experienced. With one look, he knew that the two of them had gotten into a fight. However, he could not interfere much with Jun Shiling’s matter, so he could only worry in his heart.

Ding. At that moment, the phone by the sofa rang. Xia Wanyuan picked up the phone. Before she could speak, the other party had already called out, “Brother Shiling.”

Xia Wanyuan’s expression turned cold and she put the phone aside. “Jun Shiling, it’s for you.”

Jun Shiling heard the commotion and came to answer the phone. He only listened for a second before hanging up the phone. He looked at the caller ID and saw the Zheng family’s number.

Jun Shiling’s eyes were cold.

It seemed that because the Zheng family’s political career had been smooth sailing for the past few years, they really treated themselves as one of the top aristocratic families in Beijing.

Thinking that Xia Wanyuan had not eaten lunch and was in a bad mood, Jun Shiling wanted to take her out for a meal in the afternoon to relax. “I think you quite like to eat fish. I’ll bring you to a delicious place that makes fish in the afternoon.”

“No.” Xia Wanyuan rejected him decisively.

“That family really made pretty good food. I went to eat with my friends when I was young.” That “lotus pond” had been open for many years. Back then, he had saved Bo Xiao in the pool at the entrance of that “lotus pond”.

Later on, Bo Xiao brought him to eat a few times. The fish at that restaurant was quite good and the environment was very elegant.

Hearing Jun Shiling mention his childhood friends, Xia Wanyuan naturally thought of the so-called childhood sweetheart, Zheng Fei.

Xia Wanyuan’s heart was in a mess. Before her brain could react, she had already blurted out, “Which friend? Is it your childhood sweetheart?”

Xia Wanyuan’s inexplicable words stunned Jun Shiling.

He had grown up alone since he was young. The only person he had been close to was Bo Xiao, let alone any woman. Where did this childhood sweetheart sister come from?

Jun Shiling’s gaze suddenly swept across the phone. Thinking of the fake “Brother Shiling” that woman from the Zheng family, he suddenly had an epiphany and strung everything together.

It seemed that everything wrong with Xia Wanyuan had started at noon.

A guess that he could not believe surged from the bottom of his heart. Even the usually calm Jun Shiling could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

His eyes, which had been gloomy for the entire day, were now shockingly bright.

At that moment, Xia Wanyuan also realized that something was wrong. She cursed in her heart. What’s wrong with me today? I’m really messed up. She turned to leave, but Jun Shiling grabbed her wrist.

Uncle Wang, who was pacing back and forth anxiously not far away, hurriedly retreated when he saw this scene.

Damn, young people were really torturous when they fell in love. It made my old heart palpitate.

Xia Wanyuan turned around and saw Jun Shiling’s extremely bright eyes, as if he was especially happy about something.

Jun Shiling barely suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Thinking that he could not scare Xia Wanyuan. He had to take it slow and not let this seedling that had finally appeared be frightened away by him.

“I don’t have childhood sweethearts. Ever since I was young, other than having a friend like Bo Xiao, I didn’t have any other close friends or sisters. I’ve only seen Zheng Fei three times in total. When I was young during her grandfather’s fiftieth birthday was once, and the seventieth birthday the previous year was another time, and today was the last time.”

Jun Shiling seemed to be confessing. He combed through the extremely simple relationship, his eyes serious and solemn.

“Why are you telling me this? It has nothing to do with me.” Xia Wanyuan struggled free of Jun Shiling’s hand with an unnatural expression. However, it could not be denied that because of Jun Shiling’s words, the frustration in Xia Wanyuan’s heart was instantly relieved.

“I just don’t want you to misunderstand. I don’t want you to think that I’m such a playboy. What childhood sweetheart all?” Jun Shiling was not angry when his hand was pulled away because he could clearly see Xia Wanyuan’s expression soften.

“Got it. CEO Jun is the most loyal person, okay?” Xia Wanyuan was a little embarrassed and could not help but joke.

“You’ll know,” Jun Shiling replied inexplicably. Before Xia Wanyuan could probe further, he changed the topic. “That fish is really delicious. I haven’t been there for many years. Just treat it as accompanying me, okay?”

“Okay.”
